Learning outcomes and assessment criteria are set at each level, often covering a range of grades (e.g. Level 1 covers Grades 1, 2 and 3). However, there is still a qualitative difference in outcome between individual grades within each level. This is because:
 Set repertoire increases in linguistic and technical difficulty as the grades progress
The knowledge required increases in technical difficulty as the grades progress.
